Orgasms so Strong they Spark Crying or Laughing?

Orgasms so strong they sprk crying or laughing are a good thing. Both men and women can have emotional post orgasmic reactions most commonly crying or laughing. Having an orgasm is a massive cascade of hormones that create emotions beyond what we expect in our day to day lives. This cascade of hormones can overwhelm us, and having a pleasurable emotional outburst is the result.

Post Orgasmic Reactions

We all experience post-orgasmic reactions. There are times when I tear up, my SO laughs/cries sometimes. It’s all a good thing. People have a broad range of reactions to the extreme emotions during orgasm. People cry, laugh, swear, praise God, some even yawn. But it’s important to know that these are usually pleasurable reactions.

These reactions are called “peri-orgasmic phenomena”. There was a 2017 study by the NIH that studied literature references during peri-orgasmic moments. The study found that while most are pleasurable, some include weakness (this happens to me), facial or ear pain, or headaches. I’ve never felt pain, and neither has my SO to my knowledge. I have seen my SO laugh/cry many times. It can be sort of scary the first time your partner starts crying after sex. But, just hold her until she can talk to you about it. It’s very likely just an overload of emotions.

Orgasms and the Brain

There are over 30 areas of the brain engaged during an orgasm as seen in MRI scans during an orgasm. Having an orgasm engages the parts of the brain that control memory, emotions, euphoria, impulse control, empathy, and subconscious body control. The brain is a very busy place as you have sex and orgasm!

Post orgasmic reactions are caused by hormones. When we have an orgasm, there’s a huge rush of “feel good” hormones that hit our brain. Oxytocin and dopamine at these levels cause a physical reaction in us. Oxytocin is a “cuddle” hormone while dopamine is a happy hormone. Crying is an emotional release, and is not exclusive to sadness or pain.

Laughing or Crying

Crying or laughing after an orgasm, as you can see, comes from an overwhelming amount of emotion and hormone cascade. If this happens to your partner, just remember to reassure her that you are there for her. Let her get through the moment, and express to you what is happening emotionally. Once she has come down from her high, communicate and make sure she’s OK. Hold her, comfort her. Communicating about it should be reassuring for you as well as her. You need to be sure that her emotions were based on pleasure
